Date: January 28, 2014

Time: 12:30-2:00 p.m., EDT

Purpose:

The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) has identified a gap in health care and public health practitioners’ knowledge of health IT using multiple mechanisms, including the findings of the continuing education (CE) planning group. This series of Webinars is designed to increase practitioners’ ability to improve health care decisionmaking, support patient-centered care, and improve the quality and safety of care through the use of health IT. This session will identify strategies for using clinical decision support (CDS) to improve appropriate prescribing, dosing, and monitoring of medications by health care providers. The projects presented will discuss the role of CDS in enhanced medication management for pediatric, adult, and mental health care.

Dr. Trivedi would like to disclose that he has served as an advisor/consultant to or on the Speakers’ Bureau for several commercial entities and has received research support from Concept Therapeutics, Inc.
